Unity in a Nutshell #5:
"Good Trouble"
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Sanctuary & Livestream
Unity Principle #5: Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough. A person must also live the truth that he or she knows.
In the immortal words of John Lewis, who was a beacon of courage and wisdom… "Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”
His words resonate deeply because they remind us that we are each equipped with a unique set of gifts and talents, ready to be used to create greater good in the world.
Join Rev. Anne as she wraps up her Sunday Message Series, “Unity in a Nutshell 2024.” It’s not just about understanding these spiritual principles; it’s about putting them into action. After all, what’s life without a little good trouble, right?

"Divine Discomfort"
11am, Rev. Kit Holmes, Guest Speaker and Guest Artist
Sanctuary & Livestream
We've just gotten a marvelous refresher course in Unity Basics and a whole bunch of tools to aid us in our spiritual growth and evolution. It seems that putting them into practice should be a piece of cake, right? Why then do we feel so much resistance to doing so?

Reverend Anne Tabor, M.Div., is available by appointment for spiritual counseling sessions at Unity of Arlington in a safe and supportive environment. As an ordained Unity minister, Rev. Anne, offers spiritual counseling to individuals seeking a deeper under-standing of themselves and their divine power within to solve life's challenges. Spiritual counseling can help if there is a need for inspiration, crisis support, or healing in any area of your life. Prayer and meditation are an integral part of Unity's spiritual principles, and an essential practice in realizing the answers we seek. We believe in the transformative power of affirmative prayer. You are a unique expression of God. Spiritual counseling will remind you of that!
Spiritual counseling is offered on a love offering basis. While no specific fee is expected or suggested, we do invite each person to leave a love offering. For more details, please call the church office 817-467-5151.
